§ 18-37. Recycling containers for public use.

(a)

All recycling containers shall not be placed within the City for use by the general public without the express approval of the Administrator.

(b)

All recycling containers in use shall be maintained in a clean, neat and sanitary manner at all times. The recycling container shall have the name and current telephone number of the servicing contractor as well as the owner of the container identified legibly thereon.

(c)

Owners of recycling containers shall obtain a permit from the Administrator prior to locating any recycling container within the City. General public use recycling permit regulations are established by the Administrator. Recycling permit fees are established by the Council by resolution.

(d)

Locations for recycling containers shall be subject to the approval of the Administrator upon submission of a permit request. No recycling container shall be placed on City right-of-way. If placed on private property, written permission from the property owner must be submitted to the Administrator.

(e)

Recycling containers placed within the City shall be serviced regularly to prevent an environmental nuisance as defined in this chapter, including, but not limited to, overflowing and the subsequent discharge of recyclable materials and other wastes upon any street, sidewalk, right-of-way, or other City property, or any private property. Service schedules of providers shall be provided to the Administrator upon demand. If containers are not serviced at a frequency to prevent an environmental nuisance, the Administrator shall have the authority to suspend or revoke a recycling permit, and remove such recycling containers. If the City removes the recycling containers for such a violation, the owner must reclaim the containers within ten (10) days, or such containers may be disposed of by the City at the owner's expense.

(f)

Violations of this section may subject the owner of the recycling containers to the revocation of a permit as well as removal of such containers.
